Rejected by Cornell, Princeton, UPenn, UMich, RISD and MIT soon, I'll try again next year, please I'll appreciate if anyone who can help and guide me for next year

Top 20 undergrad, 2 hrs Peace Corps, and 2 yrs consulting experience

Accepted via email, major fellowship recipient, relevant foreign experience, and work with 3 non-profits

Bummed but got into my top choice (GSPP) so oh well. Congrats to those who were accepted!

Straight out of undergrad, no relevant work or internship. History major.

Had 5+ years of work experience in a developing country. Had demonstrated commitment to public service by working in conflict-ridden areas. I guess I was not a good fit. Disheartened.

13 years Military with extensive multi-national engagement, 3.09 undergrad, exceptional LORs

Received email. Waiting for final decision. The wait continues! Good luck to everyone. I've multiple languages and have lived and worked abroad.

Seven years of public sector work, did not take GRE due to COVID. Decent but not fantastic undergraduate scores.
